I have a background in architecture, computer science and
psychoanalytic studies. My research interests are in
intelligent
buildings and psychoanalytic theory. I am primarily interested in
the work of Ronald Fairbairn and developing his object relations
approach to psychoanalysis. The following is a list of my
psychoanalytic studies publications. If you are interested in
discussing Fairbairn and object relations approaches to
psychoanalysis you should email "graham" at the University of Essex
i.e. essex.ac.uk
